Artist : Lorde
Song : Writer In The Dark
Album : Melodrama
[Verse 1] :
D
Break the news, you're walking out
C
To be a good man for someone else
D C Cmaj7
Sorry I was never good like you
D
Stood on my chest and kept me down
C
Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd
D C
Did my best to exist just for you
[Pre Chorus 1] :
D C
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
D C
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
D C
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
D C G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
[Chorus 1] :
G Am Em
I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
Am Em D
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
G Am Em
But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
Am Em D
I'll find a way to be without you, babe
[Verse 2] :
D
I still feel you, now and then
C
Slow like pseudo ephedrine
D C Cmaj7
When you see me, will you say I've changed?
D
I ride the subway, read the signs
C
I let the seasons change my mind
D C
I love it here since I've stopped needing you
[Pre Chorus 2] :
D C
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
D C
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
D C
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
D C G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
[Chorus 2] :
G Am Em
I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
Am Em D
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
G Am Em
But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
Am Em D
I'll find a way to be without you, babe
[Chorus 3] :
G Am Em
I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
Am Em D
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
G Am Em
But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
Am Em D
I'll find a way to be without you, babe
[Outro] : G Am Em Am Em D (x2)
